I feel like the weather looks- sad and miserable!

It's Wednesday already. Eek. And its morning. And I have not had a latte yet. And I'm tired. Yeah, and I don't really want to face the day...although a pint of Ben and Jerry's might make it better. Nooooooooooo. I still think that way, WW Points Plus even with Sundays Off has not fixed that. Probably never will. I guess that is where sheer will power and determination kick in. Food only makes us happy in the moment, it makes us miserable in the long term. If I keep my eye on the prize, or in this case, the number on the tag, I will succeed.

This time it will be long term and it will be a whole lot healthier than ever before, and I will be yellow, because I think that is what happens when you eat 6 bannanas a day. Of course I keep mixing in lots of red berries, so I guess I may turn out orange and looking like I have a really bad spray tan (oxymoron, who ever has a good one?)

Oh wait a sec, I forgot to weigh myself...I'll be right back. Okay, not great, but down a half pound. I'll tell you, if I did not have a WW digital scale that weighed me to the tenth of a pound today would be even more metally challenging.

I don't always have great days full of raibows and unicorns, like many of you some of mine just suck and it is hard not to turn to old friends- ice cream, cookies, comfort foods. But I have to put on my big girl pants this morning and fight old habits with achievable goals and fight my way throught the day.

About Me

I am 46 years old, have two beautifully grown sons, two pups (one is a chunk), a cat, and a wonderful husband who will eat just about anything I cook. I love food,, Ilove to cook and create and hate the weight that is slowly getting lost, again. I started this two years ago and lost fifty pounds. Stress, being the great equalizer it is, I put fifteen back on with still having thirty to lose. So I am back. Exercise is as put a part of the journey as food this time...Sunday's Off from exercise , but on for the foods I do not eat Monday through Satuday!

My husband suspects he may have gout. And so we both did our own research, and because I am a huge fan of medicating through food, I checke...

This journey is fun, informative, and most of all a great self-awareness tool. Like a book journal, I have been forced to reflect on my life, my choices, my reactions, and my daily decisions. I have learned a great deal on he way from (technically I think) obese, to now just overweight, but more than halfway to my first big goal. Thank you for reading, seeing how many views I have everyday is great incentive. Share this with whomever, we are all struggle with something and little humor goes a long way...as does knowing you are not alone!
